Hey guys, so i just now pulled the trigger, formatted my windows installation and installed Linux for the first time. I went with bazzite, which seems very gaming friendly and idiot proof with its rollback functionality.

Now to the issue: I have 3 drives in my computer, one 500gb SSD which i used for the OS. This one can be accessed fine as expected. The other two, a 2tb SSD and 1tb HDD however, dont. I cant seem to find a way to access them, and i have all my media on there / want to install games onto them.

How can i access them, and tell the OS that these two are also part of its system?

Use gnome disks, pkg might be called gnome-disks or gnome-disks-utility, let's you set a drive to automount by default and easily name it. I usually name it a label and mount it with that name, for example, label 1TBHDD mounts to /mnt/1TBHDD
